This year's report on the State of Immigrants in Los Angeles County showed that historic investments in resources have been made to immigrants but identifies areas that should be addressed to continue the momentum.
Focusing on ways to serve immigrants better and give them more of a voice on a host of economic and social issues, local legislators, academics and nonprofit leaders gathered last week at the fourth L.A. immigration summit.2023
L.A. Mayor Karen Bass attended the event, saying during the closing panel that her office intended to build out the office of immigrant affairs by focusing on language access, inclusivity and the city’s senior immigrants — areas of growth highlighted in the report. “We’re trying to both lift up that contrast, but also encourage Los Angeles to continue to lead on these issues and think about where there are shortcomings as well,” Pastor said. “There’s a wide range of things that we can do to really demonstrate our leadership.”
To Pastor, the high number of immigrants in the county and their economic contributions, as evidenced by SOILA, make the issue of inclusion “everyone’s business.” Investments and community work over almost 20 years have started to create a stronger infrastructure of immigrant inclusion in L.A. County, said Rosie Arroyo, program officer of immigration for the nonprofit California Community Foundation.
